📊 NQ · 09:30 IB, 60 minutes · October 2026

October 2026: 17 Atlas calls from 22 windows, and 2 of the 17 went to the opposing rail

The monthly summary of every 60-minute window from 09:30 that Atlas IB read on NQ in October 2026: what the indicator showed a few minutes after each window closed, and what price did next. Daily charts are no longer published. From October 2026 the record tracks the 60-minute window only; the weekly record up to 28 September also shows the 30-minute window and sets out the method in full.

None of these windows were in the sample. The Atlas tables were measured on history that ended before the record began.

The month at a glance

Every 60-minute window the indicator produced this month, grouped by the week it fell in. Rows are placed by trade date, so a week that runs across the turn of a month is split by date between the pages that cover it.

This is a running tally over a small number of windows, published as it accumulates. It is not a performance record and not a return: no entries, exits, position sizing or costs are modelled anywhere on these pages.

How to read this page

Each window is scored against the side with the larger stated share: ✅ that side's target was reached first, ❌ the other side's target was reached first, ∅ neither was reached by the close.

In 🧲 Atlas mode one side cleared the lean test (a 62% share of the comparable sessions that resolved, with at least half resolving at all) and the indicator offered a direction; an abstained window offered none and is scored all the same.

▲ / ▼ / ∅ are the measured shares of comparable historical windows behind each reading, and n is how many such windows there are: a historical null, not a prediction of the day.

The box tag grades the window against its own last five sessions (💰 accumulation, ⚖️ normal, 🚀 expansion).

Called way divides the ✅ calls by the calls that reached a rail (✅ plus ❌), so calls that reached neither rail are left out of it.

The opposing share divides the ❌ calls by every Atlas call, ∅ included: a call is made before anyone knows whether either rail will be reached, so every call counts.

Every window on this page was read with the target multiple set to ×0.5.
